Renewal of Federal Advisory
Committee.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
Under the provisions of the
Federal Advisory Committee Act of
1972, (5 U.S.C. Appendix), the
Government in the Sunshine Act of
1976 (5 U.S.C. 552b, as amended), and
41 CFR 102–3.50(d), the Department of
Defense gives notice that it is renewing
the charter for the Defense Health Board
(hereafter referred to as the ‘‘Board’’).
The Board is a non-discretionary
Federal advisory committee that shall
provide independent scientific advice
and recommendations on matters
relating to:
a. Operational programs;
b. Health policy development;
c. Health research programs and
requirements for the treatment and
prevention of disease and injury; and
d. Promotion of health and delivery of
efficient, effective and high quality
health care services to Department of
Defense beneficiaries.
The Board is not established to
provide advice on individual DoD
procurements. No matter shall be
assigned to the Board for its
considerations that would require any
Board members to participate personally
and substantially in the conduct of an
specific procurement or place him or
her in the position of acting as a
contracting or procurement official.
The Secretary of Defense, through the
Under Secretary of Defense (Personnel
and Readiness), may act upon the
advice and recommendations of the
Board.
The Board shall be composed of not
more than 30 members who are eminent
authorities within their respective
disciplines related to clinical health
care, disease and injury prevention,
health care delivery and administration,
and/or strategic decision-making in
government, industry or academia.
The Board members shall be
appointed by the Secretary of Defense,
and their appointments must be
renewed on an annual basis. Those
members, who are not full-time or
permanent part-time federal officers or
employees, shall be appointed as
experts and consultants under the
authority of 5 U.S.C. 3109 and shall
serve as special government employees.
Members may serve for periods up to
four years. Such appointments will

composition on a periodic basis. No
Board member shall serve more than
four consecutive years on the Board.
Regular government officers or
employees who participate in DoD’s
decision-making process for this Board
are prohibited from serving on the
Board or its subcommittees.
With the exception of travel and per

shall normally serve without
compensation, unless the Secretary of
Defense authorizes compensation for a
particular member(s).
The Secretary of Defense, after
considering the recommendation of the
Under Secretary of Defense (Personnel
and Readiness), shall appoint the
President of the Board from the Board
membership. The Under Secretary of
Defense (Personnel and Readiness),
prior to his recommendation, may
consult the Board membership. No
Board member shall serve more than
four years as Board President.
The Board shall select from within its
membership a First Vice President and
a Second Vice President. The First Vice
President shall undertake the duties of
the President in his or her absence, or
as requested by the President of the
Board. The Second Vice President shall
fulfill this role as necessary.
With DoD approval, the Board is
authorized to establish subcommittees,
as necessary and consistent with its
mission. These subcommittees shall
operate under the provisions of the
Federal Advisory Committee Act of
1972, the Government in the Sunshine
Act of 1976 (5 U.S.C. 552b), and other
governing Federal statutes and
regulations.
Such subcommittees shall not work
independently of the chartered Board,
and shall report all their
recommendations and advice to the
Board for full deliberation and
discussion. Subcommittees have no
authority to make decisions on behalf of
the chartered Board; nor can they report
directly to the Department of Defense or
any Federal officers or employees who
are not Board members.
Subcommittee members, who are not
Board members, shall be appointed by
the Secretary of Defense according to
governing DoD policy and procedures.
Such individuals, if not full-time
government employees, shall be
appointed to serve as experts and
consultants under the authority of 5

RECOMMENDATION 2010–1 TO THE
SECRETARY OF ENERGY
Safety Analysis Requirements for Defining
Adequate Protection for the Public and the
Workers
Pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 2286a(a)(5) Atomic
Energy Act of 1954, As Amended
Dated: October 29, 2010
Background
The Department of Energy’s (DOE) nuclear
safety regulations were developed as a result
of a mandate by Congress in the Price
Anderson Act Amendments of 1988. These
regulations now appear in Parts 820, 830, and
835 of Title 10 in the Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR). In this Recommendation,
the Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board
(Board) addresses recent changes in DOE’s
‘‘interpretation’’ of certain critical provisions
of Title 10 CFR Part 830, Nuclear Safety
Management (10 CFR Part 830), provisions
which are intended to provide adequate
protection of the public health and safety. As
explained below, in the Board’s view this
revised interpretative posture weakens the
safety structure the rule is designed to hold
firmly in place.
10 CFR Part 830 imposes a requirement
that a documented safety analysis, or DSA, is
to be prepared for every DOE nuclear facility.
This DSA, once approved by DOE, forms the
regulatory basis for safety of the facility or
PO 00000

operation. 10 CFR Part 830 does more,
however: its Appendix A provides ‘‘safe
harbors’’ for the preparation and approval of
DSAs. These safe harbors are, in the main,
references to detailed guidance issued by
DOE. A DSA that is prepared following
applicable guidance found in ‘‘safe harbors’’
should be found acceptable, meaning that the
facility’s safety systems are adequate to
protect public health and safety from nuclear
hazards.
One of the key safe harbor guides for the
preparation of DSAs is DOE Standard 3009–
94, Preparation Guide for U.S. Department of
Energy Nonreactor Nuclear Facility Safety
Analysis Reports.1 First issued in July of
1994, this Standard was intended to provide
guidance on meeting the requirements
imposed by DOE Order 5480.23, Nuclear
Safety Analysis Reports, a set of nuclear
safety requirements that preceded and were
supplanted by 10 CFR Part 830. The Standard
stated that ‘‘Technical Standards, such as this
document, support the guides by providing
additional guidance into how the
requirements [of Orders and Rules] should be
met.’’ As such, it did not contain any nuclear
safety requirements. Five years after its initial
issuance, DOE amended Standard 3009–94
by the addition of Appendix A, entitled
‘‘Evaluation Guidelines.’’ These guidelines
apply dose criteria to the results of accident
calculations found in DSAs. Stated broadly,
the Evaluation Guidelines mandate that
safety class systems be installed if, as a result
of a potential accident, the unmitigated dose
consequences at the site boundary approach
or exceed 25 rem Total Effective Dose
Equivalent (TEDE).
When 10 CFR Part 830 was promulgated in
final form in early 2001, the version of DOE
Standard 3009–94 incorporated into
Appendix A of the rule as a safe harbor
included the Evaluation Guidelines. This
combination of the rule’s requirement for an
approved DSA and the application of the
Evaluation Guidelines of DOE Standard
3009–94 formed the basis upon which
adequate protection of the public health and
safety would be gauged. Whenever dose
consequence calculations showed that an
accident scenario would result in offsite
doses approaching or exceeding 25 rem
TEDE, safety class systems would have to be
chosen and installed to reduce this dose to
a small fraction of the Evaluation Guidelines.
Developments Since 2001
As a safe harbor for 10 CFR Part 830, the
Evaluation Guidelines described in DOE
Standard 3009–94 have been enforced and
met for the majority of DOE’s defense nuclear
facilities, assuring adequate protection to the
public, workers, and the environment.
However, in December 2008, the National
Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA)
approved a DSA for the Plutonium Facility
at Los Alamos National Laboratory that
represented a significant departure from the
accepted methodology, as discussed in the
Board’s Recommendation 2009–2, Los
Alamos National Laboratory Plutonium
1 When DOE issued Change Notice 2, the title of
this Standard was revised to Preparation Guide for
U.S. Department of Energy Nonreactor Nuclear
Facility Documented Safety Analyses.
